Weight loss 4 idiots

I recently (probably somewhat foolishly) bought a diet plan from a site called Weight Loss 4 Idiots. The price of this diet plan was in US dollars and cost me about 20GBP. Looking at the diet plan it is completely unrealistic for me but they do have a no quibble 60 day money back guarantee which i have e-mailed them about to take advantage on. Has anyone had any dealings with this site and if so what are the chances of me actually getting my money back?

I understand from this site that any purchases made outside the UK mean the laws on refunds do not apply and am worried that i am not going to get my money back._pale_

Any help/advice/suggestions (apart from having a go at me for buying this in the first place) would be greatly appreciated.

BTW i am new to the site.....be gentle!!

    Wouldn't be fat loss for idiots would it? If so the payment processor is ClickBank & they will offer a refund without the site itself getting involved. The link is here http://www.clickbank.com/csinquiry.html

    Why did you think it was suitable in the first place?

    It sells very well, they sell about 400 a day. It actually has a very low refund rate that one.

    Spookess - I've just done a bit of research and Tim's spot on. (credit where it is due and all that)

    If you buy any of these ClickBank products you can always get your money back without any problem at all. In fact you can buy as many as you want, read them and then have as many refunds as you want. You would have to do it a lot of times before any one marketer noticed and banned you and even then it wouldn't stop you buying from another affiliate marketer and another and another.

    Free books for life!

    Just a thought - will be interesting to see if spookess comes to the forum again. From what I've read he/she could be an affiliate marketer him/herself sneakily promoting the program. Has been known for forums to be used in this way ;)

    That wouldn't be that sneaky would it?

    Not sending anyone to a link or anything so no. I've sneakily done it this forum though & made £200 before the day was out. But in a very clever way so no one knew what I was up to.
